He reports that no one has replied to him. I did tell him that most with the
license would probably be attending LDRS.

What an interesting post. Particularly because of Terry’s job.
I wonder why he doesn’t want to just go to the August ROC launch, after all,
the weather is probably not going to be any different. Or, FAR; that launch
is just the next weekend.
Curious if anyone knows Terry. I’m interested in helping and wouldn’t ask
for any compensation, but I’m not sure about the need for a special launch.
What do others think about this? Has anyone already contacted him?
Thank you,
Richard Dierking

Hello Gary,
Greetings from Arizona! By way of introduction, my name is Terry White.
I live in Oro Valley, Arizona which, is situated in the northwest sector
of Tucson. I am a member of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR
11184), the Southern Arizona Rocketry Association (SARA), and
incidentally, the Rocketry Organization of California (ROC). I have been
flying rockets out at Lucerne Dry Lake since Saturday, 06 August 1966.
Note that I am currently HPR Level 1 certified and working towards Level 2
certification.
My purpose in contacting you is to ask for your assistance in finding a
pyrotechnic operator. I have secured FAA clearance (COA: WSA-2124-RKT-REV
1) to fly out at Lucerne on Saturday, 31 July 2021. We are cleared for
flight ops to 4,000 feet AGL with a maximum of six (6) HPR launches taking
place between 0600 and 1300. Each vehicle will be powered by either a
single "H" or "I" rocket motor.
I am aware that California safety regs require that a pyrotechnic operator
be onsite during HPR flight ops. Could you introduce me to the person or
persons within ROC who are pyrotechnic operators? I am happy to cover the
person's expenses for the trip to, time at, and return trip from the dry
lake. As a tangible show of my gratitude for their assistance, they will
receive compensation in the amount of two-hundred dollars ($200).
In closing, I only come out to Lucerne once a year. We typically fly "F"
and "G" powered mid-power rocket motors, but I would really like to fly
"H" and "I" powered HPR rocket motors at my all-time favorite launch site.
At 71 years of age, my days of coming out to Lucerne to fly rockets are
numbered. Any assistance you can render in securing a pyrotechnic
operator on this occasion would be most appreciated!
Thank you for your time and assistance!
Terry White
NAR 11184
HPR Level 1
